Still No. 1 In My Book: Jets Punter Sells Jersey Number To Michael Vick For $10K, Gives Money To Charity

New York Jets’ punter Ryan Quigley made a quick 10 grand when he sold his No. 1 jersey to Michael Vick … not a bad day for a guy who makes $495,000 for the entire season. But then he had an epiphany.

“Ten thousand dollars is a lot of money, especially for a guy like me early in my career. For a second, I thought that, but then I thought that I can do some good with it. You can give back in so many ways and money is one way,” Quigley said.

Yep. Quigley rolled that money over into a Good Karma 401K: he turned around and gave it all to charity.

When Vick arrived in Jets’ camp, he of course had his sights set on his traditional No. 7 … but Geno Smith has possession of that. And as Smith is likely to be the starter, that number, as Donald Sterling has said about the Clippers, is not for sale. So Vick decided that No. 8 would be cool. But then he changed his mind, and approached Quigley about buying his No. 1.
